Spiritual Awakening: What Are You Looking At?

In the wake of many events these last few weeks I took a moment to sit in quiet reflection and ask the question what are you looking at? As a result I saw myself focusing on the way people were treating me an how upset  was becoming then I realized this was not serving me and not helping me to become proactive in my spiritual journey. I began to peel back the onion and I began to realize that underneath the gruff exterior lied a caring and compassionate man who wants to be of service and value to others. I started to realize that getting mad at people for not returning phone calls or emails was not doing me any good and that by simply moving forward in a positive direction of my goals and dreams that I could not only serve myself better but that I could also be of more service and value to others. It was when I began to change what I was looking at that things began to improve and I went from a dark place to a place of light. In digging deep and understanding that when you are awakened spiritually you will encounter some demons along the way thus it is important to understand that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it.  As I detached from that which I could not control like the actions of others I realized it was time to come alive and make changes in my life and to find ways to be of service and value by changing what I was looking at. Instead of looking at the fact that only one team came to a team party for The 2018 American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise I should look at the fact that is one team who is engaged in the process and will be able to help exceed the goals set to help attack cancer from every angle. Instead of looking at the actions of the person who wrote an email complaint about my announcing and the action of the athletic director in a negative way I should look at is as a sign from GOD to go where I am appreciated not just tolerated and to understand that not everyone is going to find my style entertaining but there will many that do.
